Linn vs Audio Research


Hello,

I currently have a Linn system (Ikemi, 5103 pre-amp, 5125 amp with activ Ninka) and evaluate 2 possible upgrades :

- stay Linn : add a 2250 amp for an activ espek

- open : Audio Research LS25 pra-amp and a VT100 or VT200 amp with new speakers (BW802 ? Apertura Kalibrator ? ...)

Do you have any experience, comment, advice ?

Thank you for your help

I have a similar system with b&w N802s http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?vhome&1017001258
I would add a 2250 than consider speakers choices. AR is nice but it a different sound what led you to linn in the first place? That would be the question and how you want your system to sound different than it already does.
